right, well the new sphere comp comes wth a temp check style mode where you can check how many "steps" your car is away from thermalling. The more steps, 22 being the max equates to your car being nowhere near thermalling, whereas steps 1-5 are very very close if not already thermalled. Each step does equate to a certain temp number but I dont have the list on hand. Sorry
To check this do the following...
After you have finished your run or 5 minute race (if you practice always run 5, never more as these things arent designed for 10 minutes full on racing) DO NOT SWITCH THE CAR OFF STRAIGHT AWAY... First pull the brake, put it back to neutral and switch the car off. leave the transmitter on the whole time.. Now next step is to hold down the mode key with the supplied plastic driver and turn the speed control on.. Now the setup (blue led) should start to flash. Count the number of flashes and this will basically tell you how far your Sphere Comp is from thermalling... The more steps the better...
From this you can judge whether to add more cooling, i.e a fan or a heatsink or even better drop the pinion a tooth or so! BUT THE BEST METHOD TO STOP FROM THERMALLING IS TO DRIVE REALLY SMOOTH, REMEMBER SLOWER IS FASTER... LEARN TO REALLY BE GRADUAL WITH YOUR TRIGGER FINGER AND I CAN ASSURE YOU, DO THIS AND YOU WILL BE SUPRISED HOW MUCH BETTER THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR SPHERE COMP 07 OR ANY OTHER ESC WILL BE.. CHECK THE STEPS TO SEE YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK!
